I've installed emacs, ILISP and CLISP on a Windows 98 system according
to the instructions at the Common LISP cookbook at
http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/windows.html
However when running emacs in CLISP mode, execution is excruciatingly
slow, taking seconds per key-press for syntax-checking. This on a 1.7
GHz system (512MB memory).
Is this typical for the emacs-ILISP-CLISP combination?
